Chapter 1

Introduction

The first book in this series, Mastering the Mystical Heptarchy, explored a portion of the sixteenth-century Enochian material received by Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley that modern magicians have mostly ignored, the Heptarchia Mystica. This book, on the other hand, explores a portion of that same material that has inspired numerous modern magical groups including the various Golden Dawn orders, Aleister Crowley’s A.’.A.’., and the Aurum Solis. Whereas presenting a functional system for conjuring Heptarchial angels required some elaboration upon the source texts, doing the same for the Great Table angels presents the opposite problem. Every modern group that has worked with this aspect of the Enochian system has created its own version or dialect, including elements and concepts not found in the source material and in some cases directly contradicting the original text. As with the previous volume, the goal of this book is to present a system that includes all of the functional pieces of the original system suitable for both modern and Solomonic working styles.

Generally speaking, you will get the most out of this book if you have already read Mastering the Mystical Heptarchy. In that book, I cover a brief history of the Enochian system, provide more detailed explanations of the various pieces of temple furniture, and cover the use of the opening pentagram and hexagram rituals to create the various magical fields that I have found to facilitate effective practical magick. For convenience, I have included the scripts for both the traditional pentagram and hexagram rituals along with those for my own AOEVEAE, MADRIAX, and NAZ OLPIRT Enochian rituals in Appendix A. However, I have not reproduced the expositions of those rituals here as these can be found in the previous volume. Similarly, while I have included Joseph Peterson’s images of the temple equipment explained in Mastering the Mystical Heptarchy, I have not included the larger images intended for photocopying that you will find in my first book. In addition, the previous volume includes much of my advice to beginning magicians, as I assumed that anyone new to magick and interested in exploring the Enochian system would start at the beginning of the series.

The magick of the Western Esoteric Tradition can be roughly divided into two basic classes, usually referred to as theurgy and thaumaturgy. The term theurgy alludes to the mystical practices of the art, in which the magician invokes the form of a particular deity in order to expand his or her consciousness and eventually experience union with the source of all being. Thaumaturgy, on the other hand, alludes to the practical application of spiritual power with the goal of influencing the material world through the direction of natural forces. Tension sometimes arises between advocates of these two approaches. It is often erroneously asserted that these perspectives conflict with each other, a belief that is rooted in the dualistic illusion of matter and spirit as opposites. Although magick as such is only practiced by a tiny minority in the Western world, this dualistic conditioning runs deep and manifests in religion, politics, and even the scientific establishment. In order to allow realized consciousness to flourish, this worldview must be transcended, regardless of one’s initial approach to the magical path.

In order to facilitate this non-dual realization, a comprehensive magical practice should include elements of both classes. An exclusive focus on thaumaturgy can lead to a perspective such as is found in syncretic practical systems like Hoodoo, where effective techniques depend largely upon methods and materials that have little to do with the spiritual development of the practitioner. On the other hand, a pure focus on theurgy is equally problematic because at best it can lead the magician to a perspective that dismisses material concerns as irrelevant, and at worst it can foster serious delusions of exalted realization that are not grounded in anything but the practitioner’s imagination – and in fact, for a long time the latter condition has been considered one of the hazards of working with Enochian magick. While reliable information on this subject can be hard to track down, plenty of rumors have circulated regarding practitioners informed of their own unique and cosmically significant destinies while in communication with the Enochian angels. A few of these individuals have gone on to publish these revelations, only to find them taken far less seriously by anyone else. Since I do not believe that the Enochian system is inherently any more dangerous than other forms of ritual magick, I suspect that this tendency has a lot to do with how the system is usually approached.

In my experience, most Enochian magicians never use the system for anything practical or material, but rather direct their efforts towards achieving some sort of meaningful dialogue with the angels. It is for this reason that I chose to focus my Enochian series on the practical applications of the system. I have no problem with the theurgic approach to the Enochian system, or operations undertaken with the goal of establishing angelic communication. However, too many published Enochian books approach the system as if all you are supposed to do with it is scry and/or meditate. This methodology is extremely limiting, especially when applied to as profound and powerful a system as Enochian magick. While the eventual goal of magick is always spiritual illumination, there is no real conflict between matter and spirit that exists anywhere outside of our own subjective cultural programming. Better life circumstances make a sustained magical practice easier to cultivate, and it is a sustained magical practice that leads to heightened spiritual realization.

In fact, theurgy and thaumaturgy feed off each other. Greater realization should allow you to create stronger probability shifts with your
